DRESSER TO ADELAIDE NELSON
Hannah Leone's Occult Influence Over
TIE Grcaf Ac.rcs<--1Iod iessa's Notion.

Unnnah Ieone's Occult Influence Over
the Great ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Notion.
Hannah Looac's history has never been
told. and rs il Gives an interesting page in
theatrical history it is worth relating
Hannah many years ago married a worth
less fellow named Leone, and after enduring
with him for q few years she finally left him
and accepted the position of dresser to
Adclaid- Nelson. Hannah is a short, hump
backed woman, but she has pleasing features
md some call her pretty. From the time
she first accepted the position with Nelson,
ND 70 tho time OF that talented actress sad
death. Hannah performed her duties without
ever making q mistake Her duties rs
dresser consisted in packing and unpacking
her mistress wardrobs and in dressing Neil
son for the stage As Hannah was obliged
to know where every article was and Mt n
minutes notice be able TO place her band
upon it. il may readily be seen that her duties
were not only onerOus, but that they also re-
quircd n great deal Of headwork TO success
fully perform.
Hannah exercised some strange occult in
nucnce over Nelson, and it is said that that
most beautiful but most hayward woman
feared and loved no one but her. and that one
look from Hannsh's clear eyes had moro in
nuence over hor than the prayers and en-
treaties Of hundred friends Certain il is
that Nelson loved The quiet little woman, for
after her (Neson's will was read it was
found that she had hequeathed 70 Hannah
Leone the most beautiful md valuable set of
jewels of hor priceless collection.
After Nelson's sad death in Paris Hannah
returned 10 this country. and for Some time
remained in privacy: but in 1882 or 1888 sho
became Modicska's dresser, and she was with
the latter until last fall.
Modjeska, like other great actresses, has
he1. pct superstitions. First among them IS
that II she goes on the stage at the first pro-
luction Of a new piece without rubbing her
hand over a humDbaclled persons b0oI tho
play viii he q dismal failure Hannah. on
account Of her hump, was Invaluable 10 Nod
ieska. but owing to some disagreement she
was finally discharged
AZ the production Of "Daniela" in New
York n short time since, after everything
was ready Modjeska refused TO allow the
niece to 70 on unless she could rub her hand
over n humpbaclied person'sback The stage
manager was in agony until he happened TO
eypy a humpbacked man in the audience.
Tho manager quietly had him called upon tho
stage. and after 'fodiesl,a had dnin'i'y
caressed his hump with the tips Of her fingers
she consented to make her entrance upon the
stage. and the play moved smoothly on.
Hannah Leone is finely educated woman,
speaking three or four different languages,
and it is owing alone to the great love she
bore Nelson that she has never risen to a
| higher place in the world. She Is living at
present in New York, quietly, on one Of the
M town streets. She has had many offers
! from great actresses to enter their service,
but has not considered any Of them favorably

The Culinary Artists DeSpair.

The French delegation sent over 10 tle man
duration Of the Barthold Statue Of iberty
was entertained at dinner by the Union League
club. And what a supper. A supper such as
only the wedding faasts of Gamache could give
an idea. The dishes served were Of the most ex
1uisite and costly descriptions; the confection.
cry was ~ the most learned and artistic sort:
dish after dish came on selected from bill
Of fare which covered no less than an onOr-
nous page Of closely printed text Nothing, in
fact was wanting except the appetite 10 do
honor TO banquet worthy Of Sardanapaus.
At midnight tho first course was still in
progress. The chairman thereupon took a
decisive step He summsrily put stop 70
endless pageant, and ordered champagne to
he served.
I have since Learned that this firm resolve
on the part Of the chairman proved almost a
doath blow 10 the cook Of the club, an Italian,
whose amour propre was at stake. He bad
dreamed of ont rvaling his most Formidable
competitors OF New York by setting before
real connoiseurs repast which, from first 70
last, should prove castronomic crcscendo OF
the highest order. In his despair, the cook
was with difficulty prevented from thrusting,
not sword like Vatel. for he hal none-hut
= kitchen knife through his body. kind
words, however, brought him round 10 n
calmer mood. Take consolation, o Grand
culinary artist for the French delegation,
despite it's poor appetite, has retained last
ing sense Of your merits.-M. Charles Bigot

INFLUENCE.

A politician and an editor have con-
spred to show by certain amount of in
terviews how the people feel. This is
good, but your politician always unless
an exceptional wise man, goes for find
ing out what politicians feel, when in
fact there are thousands of thinking peo-
pie who will not follow politicians, but
who influence thousands Of votes. One
of the results of these interviewing or
CARNATIONS is to discover the fact that
Cleveland cannot be nominated for Pres
ident. 1t does look so now, especially TO
us in the South, but if the policy of the
Republicans holds, the Democratic party
with sense and an aggressive policy may
snow Sherman g. Co. under in 1888.
But if we wait on the wind and merely
trim our sails to popular opinion instead
of leading and directing it, then we give
the enemy the cue to take the position OF
vantage.
If the Democratic party is to beg foI
Republican votes instead of solidifying
its own power with its own party it will
be beaten, and Mr.. Cleveland needs no
better argument of his own folly than to
try the game of recognizing" as he calls
IL, the colored element of the South that
is most persistently Republican.
AS to our State affairs in Virginia the
same principle holds: We want to see
the Democratic party force Democratic
principles instead of begging every ques-
ton and waiting to see what the Ma
honeits are going 10 do, cutting rates
with Malone demagogues and following
the idea that great party must try to
find out what is popular instead of max
ing a sound idea popular and carrying it
out.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1887-03-06

As the close Of Congress leaves the
President time to reflect on the affairs
of the Democratic party, it is to be hoped
that he will see that the party after its
great victory is not as strong as it was
two years ago.
The Democrats lost thirty members Of
Congress and the great States of Virginia
and Indiana. There is the relief from
Radical rule but very little enthusiasm in
the Democracy, and the feeling of relief
from Republican corruption is not enough
to carry party pledged to active meas
ures.
Governor Hill was right-we want the
aggressiveness of honest purpose.

"The British-American Claim Agency"
has fattened on the gullibility of people
who happen to have the names of fami-
lies entitled to alleged English fortunes.
Thousands Of people were led to believe
that they were heirs to something, and
ingenuously put up any moderate sum that
the British American Claim Agency
assessed them for to find out their con-
nection with a fortune. The president
and secretary are now candidates for
Sing Sing, and it is to be hoped that
dupes will see the point.

Congress failed to give the big spprs-
priations for a navy that we're designed
by Mcssrs. Cameron and Hale; but in
view of the fact that certain contracts
previously provided for had not been
carried out, we may conclude that the
provision Is adequate, and the depart
ment will be kept busy to do the work
laid ont for it.
Provision is made for the construction
of the cruiser Newark by increasing the
limit of its cost to 81 100000, so as to
make a contract for it possible. Next,
they provide for two additional fast
cruisers, at an aggregate cost OF $3,0oo,-
900 for the two, only part of this
amount being appropriated now. Two
more gunbOats, Of 200 tons, aggrcgating
in cost $1,100,00O, are also au-
tborized. Then there are to be two
coast defense vessels, to cost not more
than $2,000,000, and half the amount is
appropriated. Then sum of $4,000 is
allowed for buying and trying torpedoes.
A large appropriation Of S2,42o,OOO Is de-
voted to completing the double-turret
monitors and one of $2,12S,362 toward
their armament and that of other new
vessels which will soon need their bat
,eries. The amount devoted to procuring
and testing armor and gun steel needed
for the two armored cruisers and for the
monitors aggregates $4,0OO,00O.

The Lord High Chancellor in the opera
finds it difficult to settle great legal ques-
tons when he himself has to appear as
plaintiff before himself He cannot re-
fuse, as judge, to prosecute himself; nor,
as his own client, to plead his cause but
the question of identity works against
him either way, until he suddenly
finds out that his ability is so pre-,
eminent that he can do anything,
even to overriding his own decision; and
this is Just the case with Lord High
Chancellor Dispatch Its somersault on
the debt question is consistent move,
because as Lord High Chancellor it can
do anything. The Riddleberger bin it

General Beale, Of Washington, is a
very large landowner. He is lord Of
$50 600 acres and 10000 head Of cattle.
He was once a government surveyor, and
when presented to President Grant the
latter fired off his one single joke that
entitled him to be a worthy successor OF
President Lincoln, of blessed memory.
General Beale was understood to be a
man of strict business in those days
when a government Office was worth all
that an alleged Republican patriot could
get out of it-and General Beale had sur
veyed the best he knew how for himself
and the Government.
General Grant said: General Beale,
YOU remind me Of Robinson Crusoe."
"Why?'
because you are lord of all you sur
